Defix, Leawood and I would come up to Lincoln and watch a game at Barnacle Arena with you. We are a coveted demographic that the B1G has been chasing for years.

It's a god awful move and like the 7th best option for Kansas.
That's not happening. KU would have to strike out on the Big Ten, Pac 12 and ACC for it to even be considered.

Mike Vernon just mentioned this and it's something I mentioned as well.

Scenario 1 is B1G
Scenario 2 is ACC and Pac
Scenario 3 is Big 12
Scenario 4 is Big 12 dissolves and KU was not active enough

The scenario won't get past 2A. It's B1G or ACC in my eyes.

The Athletic threw out that it has been talked about reaching out to the PAC and forming a 20 team league. While not as good of an option as the BIG and ACC, its not horrible. Those teams aren't going anywhere in the future.

Any conference that doesn't not include Texas will be more stable.

I love it when WSU fans talk shit on KU football.

KU and Iowa State to B1G
oSu and TCU to Pac
West Va to ACC
Baylor and Tech to AAC

Gasp. What will KSU do if they can’t play KU every year or win the Texas Bowl?

Bluemont will seek the intervention of the Kansas BOR to make KU take them to where KU goes. Remember, those hayseeds stick together.

lol...drinking that pac12 kool-aid

...Not one of Oklahoma State, Texas Christian, Baylor, Texas Tech, Kansas or Kansas State is either: a) good enough at football; b) has a big enough media market share; or c) a cultural fit to our premier big West Coast universities...

Seems like a Baylor thing. I don't think KU has to do much except say, "We're here, we're available and we'll do it whenever" Baylor is going to be on outside looking in as it stands right now.
